The present survey was performed to assess the hepatitis C virus seroprevalence in volunteer blood donors of the National Medical Center, Hospital de Especialidades, Mexico City. Serum samples from 1100 individuals were collected. We selected second generation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Abbott HCV EIA) test for the screening. The antibodies against hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) in the volunteer blood donors were positive in 0.7%. The second generation ELISA test is useful as a screening test and may lead to decreasing the incidence of posttransfusional hepatitis C virus infection.
本次调查旨在评估墨西哥城国家医学中心专科医院志愿献血者中的丙型肝炎病毒血清流行率。收集了1100人的血清样本。我们选择第二代酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）（雅培丙型肝炎病毒酶免疫测定法）进行筛查。志愿献血者中抗丙型肝炎病毒（抗-HCV）抗体呈阳性的比例为0.7%。第二代ELISA检测作为一种筛查检测方法很有用，可能会降低输血后丙型肝炎病毒感染的发生率。
